Can we please settle this?

[bulldogtragic]

Is it Bonti, Bonty or Bonts?

I like Bonts. It seems Bonti is most used though.

[azabob]

BT, did you just make up Bonty to get a third option?

[chef]

Boyd calls him Bonti.

[SlimPickens]

It's Bonti.

[Webby]

Boyd calls him Bonti.

That's right. His nickname around the club is Bonti or Bonty... I'm not sure they've put a convention on the spelling!

[bulldogtragic]

BT, did you just make up Bonty to get a third option?

Kind of, people used to call Aker, Acker on the forum. I don't know where that little 'c' came from, but I don't want a repeat, surely consensus can be reached. :) if it's Bonti, I say it's an 'I'. Banners and cheer squad stuff will have his name on stuff for a generation.

[azabob]

I know the club call him bonti, I prefer Bonts.

[Flamethrower]

Just to buck the trend, I starting calling him Pele on Sunday.

[AndrewP6]

It's "Bonti" at the club, case closed.

[boydogs]

4th option

[always right]

I don't care what the players call him....he's Bonts to me.

[bulldogtragic]

4th option

http://puu.sh/9xk6N/f0624cff90.jpg

I hadn't seen that, that's a 4th for sure.

I'm still with Bonts, but Bonti can be used easier for banners (rhymes easier) and by journos etc, ie 'The Bonti Hunter' etc.

[LostDoggy]

It's Marcus Bontempelli.

[Dancin' Douggy]

Who cares? call him what u will. Eventually the dust will settle.

This is not designed to be too serious. Along the lines of 'a Rose is a Rose by another name'. It just is.

[F'scary]

You are all only half correct. It is an AC/DC reference: Bon T. And the T is for THUNDERSTRUCK.

[Greystache]

I call him Steve... It confuses a lot of people!

[craigsahibee]

^^^^^ :)

This is it for me.

[LostDoggy]

Bontempellican.

Bonce ?

I don't think they call Shaun Higgins Missy around the club. I always hear that at games.

I call him Bonts.

FYI I call Higgins....... Higgins.

That's true, they call him pig.

I call him Higgins

Most people around me at games call him *!*!*!*! *!*!*!*! :)

[Ghost Dog]

Variety is the spice of life. They are all terms of affection.

[BornInDroopSt'54]

Bonte with the 'e' pronounced is a possibility, although if it's pronounced the Italian pronunciation it would sound more like Bontay.

I want to change to this. Running 50m out, we start the call of his name as he kicks truly from 45 out and holding the call of the 'e'

Boooooonntt-aaaaaaaayyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy

I like it :)

[firstdogonthemoon]

I call him The Bonbon but I don't expect anyone else to join in.

[jeemak]

Bonts.

Higgo.

Who gives a f%*#@ emoticon

[Scorlibo]

He's a cracker - a Bon-Bon!

[LostDoggy]

Thanks MRM, with 5 years back and forth, I guessed so - just checking :) . Thanks for highlighting that not everything I post is bad, gun loading or 1000 cut killing. You just pepped me up a little. Thanks mate.

[bornadog]

According to Wiki his nickname is BONTS

[jeemak]

Agreed.

Hahaha

[Murphy'sLore]

Bulldogs website calls him Bonti.

[Bulldog4life]

Bulldogs website calls him Bonti.

Good enough for me.

[I'm Not Bitter Anymore!]

That's true, they call him pig.

I call him Higgins

The man behind me calls him The Skirt

[F'scary]

More research reveals further need to correct you all.

His surname is Tempelli.

He has a name that is like Mr Jovi's.

[BornInDroopSt'54]

I'd like to think we could also cope with his real name. Repeating it four times in your head or out loud qualifies you to be proficient at Bon/tem/pel/li, and feel guiltless when calling him a monosyllabic one.

Or the late great Mr Scott of ACDC fame

:D BontemPELE .... love it

[F'scary]

Marcus Bon Tempelli. I wonder if he can change his hair style as successfully as Mr Jovi has.

[azabob]

New options needed after today's spectacular efforts.

AFL360 ran with this issue tonight.

Bob Murphy said they haven't settled on The Bont or Bonti. Even mentioned Fonzerrelli has been thrown up.

Glad WOOF could be the front runner on this issue before the mainstream media picked it up. :)

I like Fonzerrelli.

The Fonz playing for Western! AYYY...

Someone told me today his name translates as "tampon." Just got to hope he doesn't get sent off for the blood rule.
